Chriss Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 On Monday 8th October MGoT are holding their annual track day at Donington. This year it contains special provision for first timers. Full details are shown on http://www.mgs-on-track.com/events/136/donington_park_2012-10-08.htm.We are invited and it is a good opportunity for first timers to get some special treatment. An instructor will give the first-timer group classroom briefings during the day to provide guidance on the circuit and track driving. Experienced drivers will offer a buddy system. You will be allocated a buddy who will help you learn the ropes - from sign-on to the end of the day. You can also book a personal instruction session when you make your booking. Summary details of the day are shown below:Event InformationEvent Name: Donington Park, Monday 8th October 2012Event Location: Castle Donington, Derby - [ view map ] Noise Limits: 98 db Number of Spaces: 75Number of Spaces Remaining: 34 Status: openSign On Time: 07:45Briefing Time: 08:30Track Start Time: 09:00Track End Time: 17:00* Above start & end times are subject to a lunch break PricesMGCC Driver £ 155.00 (MG Car Club Member) Driver £ 165.00 Add.

We hope to see 75 MGs anf Triumphs of various models having safe fun on track. We expect each car to have a full 2 hours 20 minutes of track time during the day assuming no stoppages. This is a three session per hour day with 7 sessions each of 20 mins. There will be plenty of space on track, running 25 cars on the two mile circuit will give each car about 140 yards separation without bunching.Book via http://www.mgs-on-track.com/events/136/donington_park_2012-10-08.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We clearly don't know the numbers yet but either a I will be available or an experienced MGoT member to assist. I will provide advice on preparation and other pre-day activities.If you look at the pull downs at the top of the forum in Competitions > Track Days and start at What to Expect and read through the following sections you will find the combined knowledge of Club Triumph. Have a look there for a starter and come back to me with questions.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 It would be great to have a number of new comers to track days come to this event. Donington is easy to get to from almost anywhere in the country, it is a great and safe circuit. It has history, good facilities and the world's best F1 car collection and we always have a great day there.For first timers read only been to a few, or are not very confident on track, or have not been to a track day for a few years.Clive, Gill are you up for this?

Chriss Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Enjoy it Peeter. Have you got the TR7/V8 going now?I am thinking of doing a Javalin TD at Blyton, just north of Gainsborough, in my 900 JPS when I have got it sorted. I am looking at Blyton as an option for a range of CT events. Care to come over there too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeter paint Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Might feel a tad intimidated tomorrow, a solitary triumph amongst the MG's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peeter paint Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Good afternoon at Donington, morning not so good as track wet with rain on and off. Lots of cars spinning on the track and then finding the grass had even less grip ;D.Very well run by MGs on track as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Wet with rain......And a liberal dosing of kerosene from the aircraft coming in to land. That is why the first few sessions at Donington ary always interesting.Well done for flying the flag, let's hope a few more can make it next year.
